Head & 颈部手术 癌症 Program
的 UCSF Head and 颈部手术 癌症 Program provides comprehensive, world-class care for people with head and neck tumors. 的se tumors can affect key functions such as breathing, 演讲, sight and swallowing, as well as appearance. We are committed to providing the most advanced and personalized care to protect both our patients' health and their quality of life. We're equally committed to providing an accessible, caring and informative environment that supports patients before, during and after treatment.
我们的团队 includes head and neck surgeons, otolaryngologists, facial plastic and reconstructive surgeons and 演讲 language pathologists. 在需要的时候, we partner with radiation and medical oncologists, dental oncologists, nutritionists and many other types of specialists at UCSF to give our patients the best possible outcomes.
We harness cutting-edge, minimally invasive techniques that can make surgery safer and recovery easier. Examples include in-office ultrasound for surveillance and for planning surgical procedures; minimally invasive TORS (transoral robotic surgery) and other endoscopic laser tools for removing tumors from hard-to-reach areas of the throat; and minimally invasive skull base surgery, which uses endoscopes inserted through small incisions or through the nose. For people who are not good candidates for a minimally invasive approach, we also offer traditional open surgery.
Speech and swallowing rehabilitation
Difficulties with 演讲 or swallowing are common challenges for our patients. 治疗后, we perform comprehensive assessments, using technology such as fiberoptic endoscopic evaluation of swallowing (FEES) tests and modified barium swallow studies. Our 演讲 and swallowing specialists follow up with personalized rehabilitation programs.
